"Ice King! When are you going to stop stealing princesses you butt!?" Finn furiously screamed as he lunged forward giving the floating Ice King a kick to the head, knocking Wildberry Princess out of his freezing grasp.

"Aww, you guys just keep all the babes to yourself! You guys are always ruining my dates!" said Ice King as he floated away into the snow-blanketed Ice Kingdom.

"Are you okay Wildberry Princess?" "

Why, yes Finn, I'm fine. Thank you for saving me." Said Wildberry Princess in her quiet and soothing baby voice.

"Man… What's wrong with that dude?" Finn asked as he looked in the direction of where the Ice King had took off.

"Ughh… Gunter, get out of my way… Daddy's had a rough day today." Ice King said with a loud groan.

"Wenk?"

"Yes Gunter, Finn and Jake beat me up again."

"Wenk."

"Yeah, why do they always get into my man-biz? It's not like they want to marry them, right?"

Freeze them all. Listen to me. Obey only frost.

"Why do they hate me!? I will kill them!" Ice King screamed as he spazzed out and launched Ice Rays all over the room.

"PB? You here?" Finn asked as they knocked on the Candy Castle door.

The door opened as Princess Bubblegum came out. "Hey guys, glad you finally made it. I want to show you something." She said as they walked down the hall to her room. She took a book from the top of her dresser. It was worn, dirty, and it had aged quite a bit, half of the spine was torn, but there was something about this book that was interesting.

"What is it?" Asked Jake curiously.

Princess Bubblegum motioned to her study.

They all sat down around her small table and she put the book in the middle.

"Well, here's how it started: I was at the border of the Ice Kingdom trying to find a penguin or a DNA sample so I could study them in my lab. I wanted to find out how the cabbage Gunther gave birth to a magical Cat. I saw something in the snow ahead, so I headed over there to see what it was. To my dismay it was not a penguin. It was a book, the one you see in front of you."

"Oh… Soooo is it an evil book or something?" Asked Finn.

Princess Bubblegum chuckled. "No, you silly boy, but it seems important. It looks like a journal of some sort, so I wanted you guys to come over to see if we could figure out what it was. I'm not sure if the book is cursed or something, due to the fact I found it in the Ice Kingdom, so I needed someone to call if something goes wrong."

"Maybe it's the Ice King's journal! Maybe there's some evil secrets in here just like in those tapes me and Jake watched!" Finn said ecstatically.

"Ok, I'll open it up and start reading it. Let's see here…. It says it belongs to someone named Simon Petrikov. It says:"

"Hello. My name is Simon Petrikov. I am going to record my thoughts in this journal, seeing that it might be a good idea to have important events in one place so I can look back at them. Well, me and my fiancé, Betty, are in Scandinavia for a what I think is a well-deserved vacation."

"Princess Bubblegum, what's a Scanadvia?" Finn finished by sticking is tongue out and spat because he couldn't pronounce the unfamiliar word.

"Scandinavia? Ummm… I'm not sure. Hmmm… This must've been written before the Great Mushroom War. Maybe it could tell us some information about what caused it." PB responded, getting more inquisitive by the minute.

"After I found the Enchiridion, a mysterious piece of literacy which claimed it was the "Hero's Text", we decided that we should, well, take a break. Me and Betty just arrived at our hotel where we'll be staying for 2 weeks."

"The Enchiridion!? This guy found it!?" Finn asked.

"Yeah I guess so." Said Princess Bubblegum, also thinking to ask the Minotaur about where he retrieved the Enchiridion.

"This could be a really important find guys! We might be able to find out what happened to the Humans as well!" Princess Bubblegum exclaimed with growing enthusiasm.

"Yeah!" Finn said, thinking if the humans could still be alive somewhere waiting for him.

"Can we read more tomorrow? I want to go home and play BMO." Said Jake lazily.

"Fine, but I want to read this as soon as possible. So You guys better come in here first thing in the morning." Said PB.

Jake sputtered out with his lips as he and Finn walked away, following with a half-hearted "Whatever."
